Toddlers & Tiaras

For the first time in forever I have 2 kiddos napping at the same time and I decided to relax and watch T.V. I have never watched a full episode of Toddlers & Tiaras and I must say I am not missing out on much. This show is ridiculous! I am sorry for any pageant lovers out there but I think this is so stupid. These little girls are all dolled up but I am sorry... I think any little girl could do this. Having a talent portion for a child that is not even 2 and they are up on stage having someone "dance" them around and they are awarded for it?? At the end it seemed like every little girl "won" something. I'm sorry I don't get it at all. I think my kids are beautiful, as does every other mom with her own children but I would never push my kids into pageants. If someone spotted them and offered a modeling job that would be a little different. but 99% of those kids are not going to be beauty queens. What a waste of money and time.

I am not wanting to start any fights we are all entitled to our own opinions. I would like to hear what you momma's think of putting your kids in pageants?

If they wanted to I would support them 100% but it would have rules to follow as I would not let my child wear the things they wear, and obviously more important things would come first, and we'd have a spending limit. If they didn't want to I wouldn't force it.

I watched it the one time and thought pretty much the same as you! I also feel sad for those little girls, the "older" ones(5,6,7) know they don't win and they try so hard to not cry on camera and seem so embarassed. Who would put their child through that?! And granted, sports, dancing, gymnastics, etc., all have the potential for disappointment, but for the most part there is not a tv crew there to record the disappointment. I think those moms all need to be forced into counseling!
